Hello! I have a design library in which I created multiple local variable collections. However, when I try to use them in a design file (where the design library is enabled), I can only select modes from the first collection I’ve added (the rest don’t appear in the list).

Do you know why the other collections do not appear in the “Layer/Change variable mode” list?

NB I’ve published the changes made in the library and accepted all the changes in the design file. I have a Professional plan.

Hi there,


Thank you for your post! I’m curious, have you modified the scope of the variables? It’s possible that the libraries are not being displayed for publishing. Here are some resources that could be useful:

I have kinda issue, brand-3 is my fourth created collection, but it doesn’t show up in my local variables. I tried to scroll the collection list as well but couldn’t see it.

Hi there,


It seems like you’re trying to select a mode in the page section. For that, you’ll need to have multiple modes set in the variable settings. It looks like “brand-2,” “mapped,” and “brand collections” have several modes, such as “theme-0,” “theme-1,” and so on.


If you add a mode to the “brand-3” collection, I think you’ll be able to see them. Could you give it a try?


Thanks,

Toku

This helps me. Thankiu!
